Abstract

Introduction. In psychological and pedagogical studies devoted to the study of the subject of educational activity, the general psychological principle of the subject's multiplicity is insufficiently implemented. In order to implement this general principle, it is necessary to develop more specific theoretical constructs that would make it possible to concretize this principle to empirical research. As such a construct, the concept of ego states can act as a form of manifestation of the subject in educational activity.
Purpose setting. The goal of the study is to identify the specifics of the manifestations of ego states in the educational activities of students and to establish the relationship of these manifestations with academic motivation.
Methodology and methods of the study. The sample consisted of students of various fields of study (N = 213). To study ego states in educational activities, the author»s questionnaire «Ego states in educational activities» was used. Academic motivation was assessed using the questionnaire «Scales of academic motivation» (T. O. Gordeeva, O. A. Sychev, E. N. Osin).
Results. Factor analysis of the questionnaire revealed four main ego states that manifest themselves in educational activities: Adaptive and Natural Child, Parent, Adult. All four ego states positively correlate with productive forms of academic motivation and negatively with unproductive ones. Only the intensity of the ego state of an Adaptive Child correlates with introjected motivation.
Conclusion. The ego state can be considered as a specific form of manifestation of the subject of educational activity and characterizes the way the student understands his experience of productive educational activity.
